My Speech - Bullying

Bullying

Do you sometimes get the feeling when someone talks about you and how you dress, and your appearance? Well just think about..... Have you ever been called "ugly"? Or  Have you ever been called "Fat"? Has someone made you feel totally insecure about your appearance? Everyone in this room has probably been bullied at least once in their life. It’s not the best feeling is it? It makes one feel insecure, embarrassed  and very uncomfortable. It has the power to destroy lives, mentally and physically.

Bullying behaviour is no longer a compact to the school room, or playground but throughout adulthood as well. ‘Bullying behaviour can be communicated through text, mobile phones, internet, social networking sites,  and forums.

There are many types of bullying, you may think calling someone a nasty name is what bullying is all about but there is more to bullying.

Physical Bullying: is being hit, kicked, pinched or tripped

Psycho bullying is being threatened, stalked or joke to death

Social bullying is being ignored, having rumours spread about

you, or telling lies about you. Cyber bullying is picking someone

in chat rooms, sending cruel or threatening emails, text

Messages.

Bullying is a serious problem in our world today. Victims are not the problem, the bullies are. So why do bullies bully? There are a lot of reasons why some people bully. They may see it as a way of being popular, or making themselves look tough and in charge. Some people bully to get attention, or to make other people afraid of them. Others might be jealous of the person they are bullying.

Sometimes it’s hard to work out why bullies pick on some people but one thing is for sure, it’s not the fault of the person who is being picked on. Bullies generally go for people who are different in any way it could be physically, mentally, religion culture. Anyone who seems like an easy target. People who are smaller or younger than the bully. People who are sensitive, who may cry or get upset.

Something needs to be done to stop people using the power of bullying to make others feel bad. There are many different things people might be able to do if they are being bullied. Different strategies can work in different situations. If you are being bullied you might try and work it out by yourself. However, if the bullying doesn't stop you might find it helpful to ask someone else for advice and help.

To all those people who get a thrill or feel powerful when they pick on someone or call someone a nasty name like you need to take a long look at yourself. Put yourself in the shoes of the person you are bullying. How would you feel if you were told ‘you are worthless’ or ‘you are ugly’. How would you feel if the person you have been bullying for months committed suicide because the could not cope with the put downs, could you really live with yourself?

This is my speech that I have presented in front of my group. While I have been reading my speech, my group have been talking about the scores that will be comparing with others in my group. As you can see, I need to put some work on my: expression, eye contact, loud clear voice and the knowledge of my speech.
